Safe Harbour (2018) s01e04 Episode Script

Episode 4

Ryan
Does anyone speak English?
Whether we take them on board
or whether we tow them,
we're putting everyone at risk.
We'll take a vote.
- It's four to one.
- Four to one what?
We're gonna tow 'em.
- Ryan Gallagher?
- What's this about?
Your name has come up in the
reporting of a Commonwealth crime.
Why did you turn the yacht around
and head to Indonesia?
There were signs of a storm.
Seven people died!
You killed my daughter!
Came here because I feel the need
to take responsibility.
- You cut the rope?
- No, no, I No, you cut the rope.
Nothing for years, and now
he's back? What does he want?
- I cheated on you, Liv.
- Who?
It was Bree.
- I just wanted to protect you
- You were protecting yourself!
I'm sorry.
Here.
- More old memories?
- Something like that.
- I still haven't found Bilal.
- He will be back.
Justice isn't given, Ismail.
It has to be taken.
I'd like to report a crime.
- Why did you have to report him?
- He was on the boat.
Well, now he's in jail.
It is never going to end.
I haven't decided
if I want to terminate yet.
- How are you going at school, Maddie?
- School's good.
I saw you.
You were the one who cut the rope.
No, I just thought she might have
stayed with you last night.
No, she'll be somewhere.
You know how they are. I
I'm not worried.
Yeah, I've tried that.
Her phone is switched off.
Listen, do you have Carly's number?
I don't seem to
Okay.
So if you do see Maddie, can you
get her to call me right away?
Okay. Bye.
What'd the police say?
Ah, nothing. I filled in a form.
I gave them a photo.
They asked about drugs.
Drugs?
Yeah, someone's been dealing
at the school or something.
No, she wouldn't do drugs.
And you told them about the assault?
And the arson?
Yeah, I told 'em.
LOUD KNOCKING ON DOOR
Maddie!
LOUD KNOCKING
Where is she?
Where's my daughter?
- Maddie? Maddie!
- Hey!
We don't know where your daughter is.
She was here for dinner two nights ago
but we haven't seen her since.
- Asad?
- I spoke to her yesterday.
Well, she's been gone since last night.
You should leave.
If you've done anything to her,
I will fuckin' kill you.
It's okay.
Your counsel is incompetent
and if you stay with him
you're going to lose the case.
Now I can't guarantee
that you won't be convicted
but I can guarantee you
a quality defence.
Now you want to help?
Hmm?
When you saw that the boat was gone
that it had been cut loose
what did you do, Helen?
We just kept going.
To Indonesia.
So you had a holiday?
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
There is a saying in Iraq, you know?
How you say?
"A man who is drowning
"would even grab onto a snake."
You understand?
I kept promising to fix this.
You know we're jumping to conclusions?
She's a kid. They run away all the time.
And then they come back and
With everything
that's been happening between us,
all this shit
It was me.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm
I'm the one that cut them loose.
What?
I did it.
And I think Maddie knows
and I think they know.
- No.
- Bree
- Don't.
- No, Bree, listen
- I don't wanna hear this.
- I think they know where she is.
And if I can talk to Maddie,
if I can talk to them, it'll be okay.
What have you done?
Oh, my God
- Okay?
- What have we done?
BELL RINGS
Um, I
I heard about Maddie.
I'm not really sure what to do.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go over there.
I'll call you when I know
what's happening.
We had something, didn't we?
We did.
Bye, Damien.
Bye, Liv.
He's entitled to a good defence.
Don't patronise me, Helen.
Apart from anything else, this is
borderline ethical conduct.
You're too close to these people.
You're compromising yourself.
I'm gonna tell them I made a mistake
in recommending you for the magistracy.
You're not ready yet.
I understand.
Do you honestly think
this can fix things for you,
right the wrongs of the past?
I dunno.
But I have to do something.
Well
whatever you're getting from it,
I hope it's worth the sacrifice.
They assault our friend,
they vandalise our car,
they set fire to my boat
and all you can do is talk to them?
Like this is what I pay taxes for,
so the police can sit around
on their arses all day?
No.
No!
No, you have to listen to me.
Talking to them is useless.
You need to arrest them.
You need to arrest them
and make them tell you where she is
because she's still out there somewhere
and you're doing fuck all to find her!
KNOCK AT DOOR
Thought you might need something hot.
You think we
No. No one's died.
Why are you here, you nosy slag?
Fuck off!
- Fuck off!
- Hey, hey
- Breathe.
- (WHIMPERS)
- Breathe. In and out.
- (TAKES A SHUDDERING BREATH)
Just take a deep breath.
Breathe.
- Okay?
- (SOBBING) Okay
She's not here.
All right, then.
If you hear from Madison Gallagher,
you'll let us know, right?
Never going to be all right
for us to be here.
Never.
We're always going to be something else.
I know.
I know it was you who burned the boat.
Bilal
won't let me tell the truth.
You think I
Ismail
do you know where Maddie is?
You should be at home.
It's my fault Maddie's gone.
Well, you wouldn't have done
what you did
if I hadn't turned the boat around.
Not just your fault.
We all fucked up royally.
But you gotta go home.
Find Maddie.
FAINT MALE VOICE ON TV
KNOCK AT DOOR
- Hey.
- Hey. I couldn't get away.
- Sorry.
- That's okay.
I'm starved, so thank you.
Your um, your dad came to the flat.
He was freaking out.
Good. That's the plan.
Well, the police came too just now.
Shit.
I should go back.
Why would they call the police?
Are you in trouble?
We haven't done anything wrong.
You organised this place.
I don't think running away's a crime.
I mean, you said it yourself.
You wanted your dad to know
what it felt like
to lose someone.
If you go back now, what was the point?
He has to hurt.
He has to really feel it.
I'd better go.
I haven't turned it on
but it's too tempting.
Can you hold onto it for me?
I fell asleep.
Why didn't anyone wake me?
What's happening?
I'm making a
a Facebook page for Maddie.
I'll make some tea.
Maddie!
Mads
Madison!
(SIGHS)
Hello
Aaargh!
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Excuse me, do you know
if there's an internet cafe
or something like that around here?
Is a computer in the office you can use.
Okay. Thanks.
Your Honour, based on
the circumstantial evidence
of the key witness,
I'm making an application
to cross-examine Ms Gallagher.
Your Honour, the defendant was
squatting on the yacht in question
and the arson occurred
after he was evicted.
We feel Ms Gallagher's evidence
is significant enough
to go straight to trial.
Ms Gallagher did not actually see
the accused commit the crime.
He was merely in the vicinity
and according to
the witness's own statement,
the accused had already vacated the
yacht when the incident occurred.
I hope you're not expecting
to go on a fishing expedition
with this witness, Ms Korczak.
Not at all, Your Honour.
But given the prosecution's entire
case rests on this evidence,
in the interests of justice,
I'd like an opportunity to test it.
Application granted.
Next case, thank you.
I'll see you later. It's a good result.
Thank you.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Eh
Don't be angry.
But there's something you should know.
Where is she?
Where is she?
It was her idea, Baba, not mine.
Why shouldn't they know
what it feels like?
Why should that boy have a sister
and I don't?
She's fine.
She's at the motel.
Matou helped him.
Asad
We should call the parents.
No, no, no, no. 'La!'
I'll go to the motel.
I'll pick her up.
And I'll take her home.
I should come.
Oh, nice, Lara.
Bitch.
Oh, shit.
Mum!
- What?
- Mum!
She was just online! I saw it.
She was right there.
- Can you see the location?
- I don't think you can do that.
Lachie, can you find out the location?
I dunno.
Okay, you keep doing it here.
I'll look on my computer.
What did you write to her?
Write her something again.
Ask her where she is.
Ismail!
Ismail
Your son
He got Maddie pregnant. Yeah?
That's what this is about.
Look, just tell me where she is.
We'll look after it, okay?
Yeah?
Look, no one's in trouble.
We just need to sort this out.
Ismail!
Ismail!
Ismail!
Ismail
Do you know what that means,
what my name means? No.
It means "heard by God".
It means an answer to a prayer.
What d'you think, huh?
Is God listening?
- Are you listening?
- Yes. Yes.
Well, listen to this.
Go to fucking hell
and burn there!
Phew
PHONE RINGS
Bree
Really?
When?
I'm coming.
Zahra!
What's
- Where did you get this?
- When were you going to tell me?
I, I still hadn't made
a decision yet. I
About something like this?
In secret?
After everything we've been through?
This brings
This brings me so much pain.
This
- This brings me shame.
- Shame?
I bring you shame?
I will tell you about shame.
Shame is knowing I will never
get to see my daughter grow up.
Or get married.
Or have children.
I will never get to see her be happy.
Shame is waking up every morning
knowing that if only
if only I had held onto Yasmeen
No
(WHIMPERS)
No
KNOCK AT DOOR
Get your things. I'll take you home.
Asad's not gonna get
into any trouble, is he?
- It wasn't his idea. It was mine.
- Don't worry.
No one's getting into trouble.
Come on.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Ismail, call me back, please.
Shouldn't they be here by now?
He won't be long.
- Do you want a cup of tea?
- Thank you.
Call him again.
PHONE RINGS
Um, you missed my turnoff.
Back there,
that was the road to my place.
- Why isn't he answering the phone?
- I don't know. I'm sorry. I
When he left, he was very angry.
Oh, my God.
What should I do?
Should I call the police again?
- Yeah, you should. Give 'em a call.
- What do I say? No, um
Maybe we'll go the station.
You stay here and
Where's Ryan?
I just wanna go home, Mr Al-Bayati.
I need to know where one of
your drivers is - Ismail Al-Bayati.
- I can't give you that information.
- Please.
I just need to know where he is.
Please! GPS.
You have GPS on all the cabs.
- Everyone does.
- Sorry, mate, I can't help you.
Okay, I know
you employ people illegally.
Half your drivers don't have visas.
Please.
Please!
THUNDER RUMBLES
Maddie, no!
Come back!
THUNDER RUMBLES
GIRL SCREAMS
Bilal!
Zahra! Zahra!
Yasmeen!
PEOPLE SHOUT IN ARABIC
- Where is she?
- No, no, no, no
- What've you done to her?
- Nothing!
- What've you done to her?
- I did nothing!
- Where is she?
- I did nothing!
- What've you done with Maddie?
- I don't know! She ran off!
- Tell me where she is.
- I let her go.
- Tell me where she is.
- I let her go.
But you
You!
You left us out there to die!
You killed my daughter!
- You broke us!
- I know
You broke me!
You Fuck!
(SCREAMS) Dad!
Maddie
Maddie!
- Dad?
- Maddie!
- Maddie!
- (SOBS)
I'm so sorry.
(SOBS)
PEOPLE SHOUT AND SCREAM
Yasmeen!
(SCREAMS)
Yasmeen!
Yasmeen! Yasmeen!
(SCREAMS)
Yasmeen!
(SCREAMS)
Yasmeen!
Thank God!
(BREE SOBS)
It's like barbed wire, this hair.
I swear.
I hope this little one takes after me.
Don't
Don't do this for me.
You remember when we first got married,
before the war got in the way?
How many children
did we say we would have?
I think the world deserves
this little one.
And us too.
Don't you?
I just wish I hadn't been
so fucking gutless.
Well, you were scared.
We were all scared.
That night
- I I couldn't sleep so I went
- You don't have to do this.
No, it's fine, it's fine.
So I went up on on deck.
I just wanted to check on the other boat
and make sure everything was okay.
And I saw you there, Helen,
and you'd fallen asleep.
And I was sitting there.
I was looking at this boat
and I was thinking
"It's too hard."
And I didn't know if we were
if we were towing them into a storm
or, or away from one.
But we were taking them back
to the last place that they'd wanna go.
I mean, they, they may never get
another chance.
I, I
I didn't know what to do.
FAINT SHOUTING
I just did what you all wanted.
You told police
you saw my client leaving the yacht.
How did you know it was him?
Did you see his face?
I saw him from behind.
- From behind?
- Yes, but
Ms Gallagher, how did you feel
when you saw your brother's yacht
had been destroyed?
I was upset.
Well, your brother suffered
significant loss, didn't he,
because the yacht itself was uninsured
at the time of the incident?
That's right.
You also told police
that your former partner,
Mr Damien Pascoe,
had been assaulted by my client,
even though Mr Pascoe
hadn't himself pressed charges.
Yes.
You have reasons
for feeling aggrieved, then?
I did.
Maybe you just wanted
my client to be guilty
because it's easier that way,
to blame someone else
when you're feeling angry or upset
Your Honour, what is this?
Ms Gallagher, could you please
look at the defendant?
The witness has already identified
the accused
in her statement, Your Honour.
I'll allow it.
I just want the answer to one question.
Ms Gallagher, can you say,
without a shred of doubt,
with 100 per cent certainty,
that this is the man
you saw leaving the yacht?
No, I can't.
Ms Gallagher, you're under oath.
Do you want to reconsider your answer?
No, I can't be sure if it was him.
Your Honour, in light of the fact
that the key witness for the prosecution
is unable to categorically identify
the defendant,
I request my client be discharged.
No jury, properly instructed,
would find the defendant guilty.
I have to agree.
The defendant is discharged.
Ms Korczak
Thank you.
(LAUGHS)
(SPEAK ARABIC)
I want to say something.
- Here we go.
- Mm.
I'm sorry
for dragging you through this
this trouble I made.
You don't need to apologise.
I've been so focussed on
everything I've lost
I stopped seeing what I have.
You.
And everything you do for me.
Iraq
Yasmeen
And now
we have a new life.
A new home.
And so much to look forward to.
Especially dessert.
Yasmeen was a
little rascal, you know.
She was always outside, always playing.
She loved nature.
Bare feet.
Dirty face.
Laughing.
Playing tricks.
I wish I could
I can't forgive you.
Not yet.
It's for you.
